Was wondering what unusual first words your babies have come up with. DS2 has spoken what we are convinced are his first two words- come, and cubbe for cupboard. Not quite what we were expecting him to say (mummy, daddy, banana, perhaps), but as he's spent the last week being encouraged to crawl to a soundtrack of us shouting "come on", and sitting in front of the kitchen cupboard opening and closing it while DS1 tells him it's a cupboard, perhaps we shouldn't be so surprised!

"Chocolate" (or "cacklet" whilst pointing at the bar in the fridge and jumping up & down). Most shaming.

"Kettle!" Clear as a bell (and oft-repeated) from 10 months on. We have a whistle-y one and she obviously thought we hadn't heard it. I think I may drink too much tea.

DD's 3rd word (can't remember first 2 so probably boring!) was 'raspberry' (raaberry). We still have no idea why

Dd's first word was spider (pider)

My first word was topic. Apparently there was an advert about the chocolate bar in the late 70s which was my inspiration.

Nice to know my first word was chocolate related.

DD's was 'door', followed by 'dog' with her pointing at the Andrex packet.

One of her first was 'Tesco' though

'Shoos'(shoes) not to be confused with 'shush' (juice) which was second word. Very confusing.

DD's first proper word was England! It was during the world cup 2006, the whole family was gathered in my mum's living room to watch the match, DD pulled herself up to stand, banged her fist on the coffee table and shouted "Ing-lan!" My dad has never been more proud

DS first word was twinkle (tinkuh) with sign after singing of twinkle twinkle little star.

Now also saying ni-ni (night night) though doesn't seem to matter what time of day it is.

Oh and Ooog is any cat (ours is called Ol and I think he thinks all cats are called this). He's going to get mighty confused when he meets his cousin of the same name
